Connections somewhat regularly has extremely US-specific categories (like baseball legends or something) and I'm not spending time looking things up I'm not remotely interested in so I just give up on those.

Saint George?

 

[Llama]

Saint George was the dragon-slaying dude. Curious George was the one I wasn't sure of.

I dislike connections, mainly because my brain just does not get it. It's a bit like trying to do a cryptic crossword.

i've only played 3-4 times now, so i'm still in the learning curve. at first i was only looking for connections in definitions, but now i know it can go beyond that. i liked learning a new word today... heteronyms ... i knew they existed, but never knew they had a name. black and white animals was a funny one today, too.

there is a shuffle function which i don't see a use for. i wish they allowed you to drag the words around to reposition them.

 

[Cate]

@overlandflyer - a drag the words around option would be a wonderful thing!

I saw the blue category but it's a US-based one so it took a few tries to get right. Didn't see the green one at all until after the solution.

funny how the mind works... when i saw Caesar, the first thing that occurred to be was salad.

 

[Llama]

Neither Caesar salad nor wedge salad is a thing here, so while I know what the terms mean they're hardly at the front of my mind...

 

[overlandflyer]

huh,,,, something i never knew...

"Caesar salad was invented in the early 1920s by Caesar Cardini, an Italian chef who owned a restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico. He moved to Tijuana from California to avoid Prohibition, and it was here, on July 4th, 1924, where Caesar is believed to have invented the Caesar Salad."

i have to think the popularity has to do with Romaine lettuce, but restaurants also offer meaty additions (chicken usually... shrimp sometimes) quite frequently.

frankly, i don't see "wedge" too often, but i do know it's a thing.
Cobb seems popular locally, but i don't like them much.

i've been on a spinach salad trend recently. my last physical noted an iron deficiency, so i've been trying to fix that.

Made an embarrassing mistake with my third word & then had to put a burner word for my fourth.
Maybe I shouldn't have another crack at connections........
